From Discord:
Hello @everyone,
Unfortunately today is the day I have to announce that LunaSea is no longer being published and all related cloud services (including notifications) will be shut down in the near future.
For more information on when things will be shut down, please read the details here: https://www.lunasea.app/
I understand that this comes as a surprise and originally was not the intention for the project. However, with recently enforced changes by the Play Store (and possible other storefronts in the future) to require showcasing your legal personal residential address, I am no longer comfortable publishing mobile applications for privacy reasons.
Luckily for some time I have been able to get around this by utilizing an older ID to showcase an address I no longer reside at. Unfortunately, this no longer works and I am required to re-verify which I am not willing to do.
With this shut down also marks the closure of the Discord and Subreddit. For the time being this Subreddit and Discord will remain open, however all channels have been removed and no new posts allowed in the subreddit.
Once again, thank you to everyone for everything over the years, I couldn’t have asked for a better community. ❤️
wow this really is too bad.
This was by far the best mobile interface for radarr, sonarr, etc.
Sad day.
If you’re on Android, there’s nzb360. The dev is awesome.
But not FOSS like LS unfortunately
It’s a bit pricey (and likely only going up in price with the upcoming licensing changes), but by far the best there is.
You lose a bit of functionality but you can use it for free
How does someone use something like this discreetly if its setup in the us?
What do you mean? The nzb360 app is just a front end for services you have running on a server somewhere. Are you asking how to run the backend part discreetly?
So, usually I run mulvad on my laptop before firing up qbtorrent, but how would something like this work? Is it just an app running on my phone where I still have to use mulvad?
This would just be a way for you to see what qbittorent is doing from your phone. In qbit you’d turn on a few settings and then point this app to what you just turned on, and then see what’s downloading from your phone.
The app isn’t doing anything beyond taking interpreting what your other programs (e.g., qbit, sonarr, radarr, etc) are doing while you’re away. Depending on the program you could also tell it to download something, but that’s all still happening on your laptop. Your phone is just the middle man.
The app points back to always on servers you have setup to automatically download media on their own.
It wont do anything for you if you fire up a torrent client and go download media manually.
Dang I didn’t even consider this as a thing to look for and now it’s gone
I’ve shrugged off a couple other apps because LunaSea was so good. Gonna miss it when it finally breaks.
I was looking forward to the successor app, but given the circumstances of the present situation I don’t see that happening now :(
